Default Query on eating habits

Hi all,

Tommy has finally decided to join the land of the living :P Seems he decided to emerge around about the time the clocks went forward (also moved his enclosure into a corner of the sitting room away from the window and door).

Anyway, i have a minor concern over how much he is eating as he has demolished and i mean demolished, 2 living salads from sainsburies in the last 3 days! he's eaten one almost since last night!

I leave it in a corner of his enclosure, not sure if this is a good idea or not?

He is pooping so i guess its good that he's not eating and constipated :P

Kinda guessing that he'll not eat if not hungry?

Thanks in advance for advice / comments

Do you mean he has emerged from hibernation? Once mine had got back to normal after hibernation they ate for England and have put on loads of weight lol x

Mine tend to have quiet periods this time of year where they will sleep loads and not eat much and then other times where they can't get enough food and will at everything in sight. It may just be that now your moved his enclosure he is warmed and that has made him want to eat more. What are your temperatures like? And how often are you feeling him?
